Shipping Cost from Stockholm to Tallinn

Shipping a piano across the country typically costs $1,200 to $4,500 for an upright or baby grand, but can range from $500 for shorter long-distance upright moves to over $2,000 for larger grand pianos, with big factors being distance, piano type (upright vs. grand), stairs, and special handling needs like cranes or crating. Costs increase for larger instruments, longer distances (often charged per mile), and difficult access (stairs, tight corners).

To move a piano long distance, hire professional piano movers for the safest, most reliable option, as they have specialized equipment and expertise. If DIY, prepare by locking the lid, wrapping it in blankets, securing it to a piano dolly/skid board, using lifting straps, and strapping it securely in a truck with a ramp, avoiding lifting by the legs.

Shipping a piano overseas is a complex process that demands experience and expertise due to the piano's size, weight, and delicate nature. An average piano can weigh between 500 to 900 lbs, while a grand piano may weigh around 1,200 lbs.
